Will Unwin was at the Etihad tonight. His report has landed, and here it is. Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night … and get some good sleep, you’ve got to be up early in the morning, remember!

Pep Guardiola talks to TNT. “No words … for the success of Athens, and arriving when we are arriving … that is why we are a really good team … the mentality .. the steel … the desire … against that team that everyone saw play against Aston Villa, it was magnificent … there is no words to express my gratitude to these players … the way we played was more than deserved … everyone was a top performance … I know [Phil Foden’s] ability to move between the lines, his speed, his control, his contact with Erling … but we cannot forget how good he played on the left, on the right, in the number nine … finally we have a long week to rest and prepare for the future.”
